In our search for Rumble, some of you have shared with us information on
dogs in shelters that look similar to Rumble "just in case it might be
Rumble." Although none of them have been Rumble, we appreciate your
efforts to help us in our search. If Rumble's plight can somehow help
these dogs find the loving homes they deserve, that would be wonderful!
Please note that due to space and time constraints, we must normally limit
our postings to dogs that are referred to us "just in case" they might be
Rumble. However, we will make exceptions and post other dogs for
Friends of Rumble who have gone to special lengths to help us with our
search for our boy.
We're sharing the information on these dogs below with the hope that you
know someone who might give them love and their forever home.

A friend of Rumble's
sent the link to us for Vixon, "just in case..." He does look
quite a bit like our boy, but is not Rumble. He's a beautiful,
long-haired, purebred German Shepherd and has been rated as having a great
temperament, but unfortunately the Lycoming County (Pennsylvania) SPCA is
only giving him until Monday, July 7th, so his situation is most urgent! Can someone
please help him? Below is the description we received from the rescue
volunteer. Please contact the SPCA directly (see contact information
below) to adopt this most deserving fellow. Or if you can help him,
you may also contact the rescue volunteer at
magicgershep@aol.com. Surely
together we can save this boy! (But we don't have much time...)
Thank you.

German Shepherd Dog

Age: Young
Sex: Male

Notes:Vixon is a purebred black and tan coated
German Shepherd approx. 1-1/2 years old. He is up-to-date on DHLP, kennel
cough, and rabies. He was neutered in June 2003. Vixon has been at the
Lycoming County SPCA since March 26, 2003. He has been temperament
tested using a combination of the Sternberg & HSUS test and passed. He
does not appear to be food aggressive. Vixon is a big happy-go-lucky guy.
It is summer and the shelter is full. It is not fair to Vixon nor to the
other dogs who need a safe haven to continue to hold him. A decision
will be made on Vixon's fate on Monday, July 7th.This pet
is: up to date with routine shots, altered (Information from
rescue volunteer)

A friend of Rumble's
sent the link to us for River, "just in case..." He does look somewhat
like Rumble and he shares several characteristics with Rumble, but he's not
our boy. However, his story is amazing! After you read it,
you'll understand how he got his name. He sounds like he is so deserving of a loving
forever home! Can someone help him?

German Shepherd Dog

Size: Medium
Age: Young
Sex: Male

Notes:
River is an 18-month-old black-and-tan purebred long hair German Shepherd
dog. River really is his namesake. Yep, the mighty Mississippi River almost
claimed him. He had wandered out on the ice and became stranded there when
the ice started to break from underneath him. He can thank the Anoka police
officers for saving his life. He actually became a favorite with them when
he was waiting for his owners to reclaim him. He became their "office dog."
He loved them in his very quiet, unassuming way. Again he was rescued since
his owners never came for him and his time was up at the animal containment
facility and our rescue group took him into our program. He is initially shy
and reserved. When he becomes more acquainted with you, his personality
really shines. And if you happen to toss him a tennis ball, then he's your
favorite person of them all. He seems comfortable on a leash and walks well.
He is in excellent health. We were able to place him in a foster home, so
we'll be able to have an update on his house training and manners. He may
have some separation anxiety. This beautiful boy is available boy is
available for adoption for $270. This pet
is: up to date with routine shots, altered (Information from PetFinders.com)

"Josie"
sounds like a wonderful
girl! A great Friend of Rumble's, who has helped us a lot in our
efforts to locate Rumble, began volunteering at the
Calvert County Humane
Society as a direct result of Rumble's website. She met Josie
there and believes Josie would make a superb choice for anyone looking for a
great dog. (In fact, she can't believe Josie hasn't been snatched up
already.) Josie is a very pretty 8-9 month old Shepherd-Hound
mix. She has been spayed, is up-to-date on all her shots, and is
heartworm-negative. According to the Calvert County Humane Society,
Josie is "extraordinarily good-natured and can romp and play all day."
We're told she's friendly, gets along great with other dogs, knows basic
commands, and walks well on a leash. By the way, we commend the
Calvert County Humane Society for being a no-kill shelter. That's just
super! If you know anyone who could give this very deserving girl her
forever home, please contact Bob at
(301) 862-3808. As an added bonus, when Josie is adopted, there will
be one more space in this no-kill shelter to save another deserving dog!

Notes from Calvert County Humane Society Volunteer:"Josie is one of the nicest, friendliest, happiest dogs you will
ever meet! I don't understand why she doesn't have her forever home yet!
Josie is a very special dog and one of my personal favorites. She is so
sweet and loves to run around and play and give kisses. She is very eager
to please and knows
basic commands. The Calvert County Humane Society's trainer works with
her (as well as all our other dogs) daily. Josie walks well on a leash
and is wonderful with other dogs. I haven't seen her around cats yet. What a sweetheart she is, one of the best!"

Update of 2/19/03:Casey has been rescued by the wonderful folks at PetProtectors in
Connecticut! Here's their report: "Excellent temperament,
gentle, male neutered white shepherd / retriever mix with tan markings. He
is 1.5 years old, 45 lbs., puppish at times, loves everyone and other
animals. He is the sweetest, most adorable and loving dog you will ever
meet. He has had a hard life and deserves so much more. Casey needs a home
with someone around often and another dog to pal with. To know and meet
Casy is to love him. URGENTLY need a foster home as well."

Original Posting:
A friend of Rumble's from
Kentucky asked us to post "Ace." Ace sounds like a treasure who is so
deserving of a loving home! Just look at that sweet face....
Since Rumble has several White German Shepherds in his background, we have a
soft spot for guys like Ace!

Notes:
"Ace" is a young, medium-sized, White German Shepherd mix. Ace is a
sad case of how some people SHOULD never own a pet. Ace was adopted from a
shelter and kept on a chain since the time he was a puppy. He's now 1-2
years old and has a scar around his neck from a collar that grew into his
and from being on a logging chain. Despite Ace's former family, he's one of
the most loving, loyal, and sweet boys that you will ever met. He's gentle,
does wonderful w/ other dogs, and walks wonderful on a leash! This boy
deserves a 2nd chance to see what love is like! Up-to-date with
routine shots. Altered. To see another sweet photo of Ace,
please visit

A friend of Rumble's from
New Jersey asked us to post "Max." (We're referring to him
as "Max #2" since we've already had one "Just in Case" dog named "Max.")
Max sounds like he is so deserving of a loving home! No dog should
ever have to go through what he's been through.

Update of 1/13/03:
We just received a very nice e-mail from Rusty's Foster Mom and several very
handsome photos of Rusty! She said that she wanted to personally thank
us for our help in publicizing Rusty's plight. He is doing exceptionally
well in their home and they are thrilled with his progress so far.
They are now starting to take him out to try and get some socializing skills
for him too. She concluded by saying, "He is an absolutely stunning dog
and I'm so glad I could foster him!"
We've also learned that "Sam" is still available. No new photo is
available yet. He's just had his surgery to be altered.

These four dogs could desperately use a miracle! They only have until
Friday, November 22nd. Three of them are quite large (28"-29" at the
shoulder). One is only 25" at the shoulder. They were apparently
confiscated from someone who had problems. We've been told they're
typical, well-rounded dogs, but are very unhappy in their cramped shelter
cages. If you know of a rescue organization that could take them in or
if you know of anyone who could adopt one, please contact Becky immediately.
She can be reached at k9gsd@casinternet.net.
Her rescue organization is at its maximum, but she'll help anyone who can
help these shepherds. Becky has a contact person who is willing to
drive these dogs a great distance to get them to safety. All they need
is someone to rescue or foster them! Thank you for your consideration.
